Chapter 10: Friendship
Phineas's Point of View
The day that Isabella had her birthday, she had disappeared from the face of the earth. Not really, but she was no longer in our time period. Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro believed us when Ferb and I said that we did our best to get her back, but we couldn't. My mom and dad have helped organize search parties to look for Isabella. Yeah like that's going to work at all. My mom wanted: Candace, Buford, Baljeet, me and Ferb to come on the expeditions. We all gratefully refused, instead pouring over every detail of the plan that we came up with to bust Isabella out of the Prison Labor Camp Thingee.
"Okay, so Ferb, we have to do this at night, like you did a month ago," I said. Ferb nodded. "You take Buford and Baljeet, I'll take Candace and Irving." Again he nodded.
"What happens if she is no longer there, or if she doesn't want to come back?" Candace asked.
"We'll cross the bridge when we come to it, but for the most part, we find out where she went and bust her out of that prison," I said in a determined voice. My phone started ringing; the ringtone for my girlfriend Mallorie was ringing. "Oh no…" Ferb rolled his eyes in mock amusement.
"Phineas!" Mallorie shouted into the phone in French, thankfully because I had the translator still in my ear, I was able to understand her and even talk back to her if I wanted. I flinched. "We have not even seen each other for a month now! Do you care to explain why we haven't seen each other for that long?"
"My family and friends are planning to find Isabella Garcia-" I started saying.
"-Blah, blah, blah," she said. "Can't you take just one day off to come and spend it with me?"
"No," I said bluntly. "The sooner we get Isabella back, the sooner we can start seeing each other again Mallorie, so I have to go now, bye!"
"Wow, lovely girlfriend you've got," Candace commented.
"Okay, I deserve that one," I said thinking about it.
"Phineas," Candace said. "You should really consider making Isabella your girlfriend, and dumping Mallorie…"
"How I deal with my love life is my own job, not anyone else's," I said. "Can we get back to what's important now?" Ferb nodded.
Isabella's Point of View
Oh Phineas, where are you?
"Isabella? !" [1] Tasha was saying, waving a hand in front of my face.
"Wait, what?" I asked looking up at her. "What happened?"
"Nothing, you just sort of went quiet and looking like you went into space," Tasha said.
"Tasha, if my friends come back and get me out of here, do you want to come with me?" I asked all of a sudden.
"Well, that's a big if Isabella, but yes, I don't want to spend the rest of my life working here," Tasha said.
"Great!" I exclaimed hugging her.
"Okay… what was this hug for?" she asked. I had recently taken to hugging her a lot when she agreed do something that she knew I wanted her to do. Of course, she always asks for an explanation on why I'm actually hugging her… Yeah, I don't plan to start on giving explanations now.
"Oh, well… you know," I said blushing a little bit. "For well… Never mind…"
"Okay…" Tasha said. "Are you sure that you don't want to go to the medical rooms Isabella?"
"I'm fine," I said. "Anyway, let's just get to bed, we have a long day tomorrow." Tasha nodded and immediately fell asleep the moment her head and pillow connected. Well I was up much past that thinking about Phineas and if he would ever make good on his promise. Then I heard them. Gunfire and yelling.
